Q3 2026 earnings summary11 Dec, 2025

Executive summary

  • Subscription and support revenue rose 6% year-over-year to $49.4 million, with ARR up 6% to $213.4 million, driven by new customers and upsell expansion, but offset by higher churn in the U.S. K-12 segment and lower services revenue.

  • SaaS revenue increased 10% year-to-date, and adjusted EBITDA rose 33% with a 15% margin, though quarterly adjusted EBITDA was $7.9 million (14.7% margin), down from $10.4 million last year.

  • International and corporate markets delivered strong ARR growth, with international ARR up over 15% year-over-year.

  • The company is investing in product innovation, notably AI-driven offerings, and expanding its go-to-market team for employee training.

  • Net income for the quarter was $4.4 million, compared to $5.5 million in the prior year.

Financial highlights

  • Total Q3 revenue was $54.1 million, flat year-over-year due to a prior-year services revenue true-up and a decline in professional services revenue.

  • Subscription and support revenue increased 6% to $49.4 million; professional services revenue fell 38% to $4.7 million.

  • Adjusted gross margin was 67.8%, down from 69.9% last year, impacted by database migration costs.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $7.9 million, down from $10.4 million last year; free cash flow for the quarter was $18.8 million, up 66.5% year-over-year.

  • Cash and cash equivalents stood at $110.5 million with no debt at quarter end.

Outlook and guidance

  • Full-year guidance: subscription and support revenue of $198–$199 million (10% growth), total revenue of $217–$218 million (6% growth), and adjusted EBITDA of $32–$33 million (15% margin).

  • Pipeline entering Q4 is the healthiest in over three years, supporting confidence in near-term and medium-term growth targets.

  • Management remains confident in achieving the fiscal 2028 operating model, targeting 18–20% adjusted EBITDA margin.

  • Guidance reflects higher churn in U.S. K-12 and continued decline in professional services due to cautious U.S. Higher Education spending.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
